Some of my efforts and enterprises may have
been financially unwise; and perhaps I should not
have undertaken any work of publishing with^out^ first
having sufficient capital in the bank to take me through;
but then I should never have published any book at
all, not even the Life of . During the
last fourteen years, since I commence the Life of Brigham
Young, a strange Providence has attended my publishing,
and from fifty to seventy-five thousand dollars have been
put into my publishing work; and yet when I went to
Brigham Young and told him I was going to write and
publish his Life I had not a dollar, nor scarcely
food or fire in my house. The same Providence will
still attend my work and put me through, but
how that Providence will manifest itself I wait to
discover.
I come now, Brethren, to the help for which I
appeal to you. I need $500 to complete my Northern
volume; $300 payable to & Sons to
purchase paper to complete the book, a draft of $100
in favor of my engravers, Sons, and
$100 for me to work on the book. For this $500
Mr Cannon will, on its publication deliver to the
Bishop's Office or the one hundred and
twenty-five volumes of this said History.
